Rebirth: I have Monopoly System
Chapter 222: Drunk Driving and Hit-and-RunWang Tianqi was a little dizzy. The beautiful woman beside him had just plied him with several bottles of alcohol.
Standing up, Wang Tianqi wrapped an arm around the woman beside him and headed for the exit with the hip-hop guy.
Their steps were unsteady—a clear sign of intoxication.
A blast of cold wind hit him as he stepped out the main doors, instantly sobering him up for the most part.
Gazing at the succulent beauty beside him, Wang Tianqi felt a rush of heat, eager to take her somewhere and blow off some steam.
Thinking with his dick, Wang Tianqi was completely oblivious to the tall figure trailing him from a short distance away.
He took the car keys from the valet and refused the man’s well-intentioned offer to call a designated driver. "It’s fine. The hotel I booked is just ten minutes away. My driving skills are incredible!"
’Are you kidding me? If I get a designated driver, is this gorgeous woman supposed to take a cab? I, Wang Tianqi, know how to treat a lady.’
’What! You want *me* to take a cab while she rides shotgun with the designated driver? No way! Absolutely not!’
At eighteen or nineteen, Wang Tianqi was at that rebellious, conceited age. Under the valet’s conflicted gaze, he and the woman got into the Ferrari 458 together.
The Ferrari 458 roared to life and shot directly onto the main road, forcing a taxi to slam on its brakes.
"Fucking hell! Think you own the road ’cause you’re rich?!"
Before the taxi driver could even react, a black Passat shot out as well.
"Damn! Driving that fast, you think you’re in a sports car or something?!"
After letting out a stream of curses, the taxi driver finally shifted into gear and pulled away, still muttering under his breath.
As Wang Tianqi drove the Ferrari, he felt something was off with the gas pedal. It seemed unusually light and unresponsive under his foot.
"Young Master Wang, slow down! We’re in the city!" The scantily clad woman in the passenger seat clutched the grab handle. She could no longer feel the heat from the seat warmer.
Wang Tianqi chuckled, placing his right hand on the woman’s long, stocking-clad leg. "Relax!" he said smugly. "My skills are way beyond my years."
The woman didn’t relax. In fact, when Wang Tianqi glanced at her, a chill ran down her spine, and her toes involuntarily curled, gripping the inside of her shoes.
"Let me tell you..."
"AH! WATCH OUT!"
BAM!
At a red light, two pedestrians in the crosswalk were struck and sent flying high into the air, landing hard on the pavement behind the Ferrari.
Wang Tianqi watched in the rearview mirror as their limbs twisted at unnatural angles and blood poured from their bodies. It was obvious they were dead or dying.
Wang Tianqi’s mind went blank. He instinctively stomped on the accelerator. The Ferrari bolted like a wild horse, shooting through the intersection and vanishing into the distance.
Wei Wu ground his teeth as he watched. He glanced at the two innocent victims on the ground, then shifted into sport mode and floored the accelerator. The Passat clung tightly to the Ferrari’s rear.
Wei Wu was somewhat relieved they were in the city. Otherwise, given the Ferrari’s performance, he would have been left eating its dust.
"Quick! Hurry! Call my mom!" Wang Tianqi’s face was pale. He’d completely forgotten about the car’s Bluetooth and just tossed his phone at the woman.
"The passcode is 1234!" Wang Tianqi blurted out before she could even speak.
Also in a panic, the woman in black stockings dialed Wang Tianqi’s mother’s number with trembling hands.
"Hello? Son? What happened?" It was one in the morning, and Wang Tianqi’s mother, Li Juan, had been asleep for hours. Her voice was still groggy.
A mother knows her son better than anyone, so a call at this hour could only mean one thing: Wang Tianqi was in trouble.
Wang Tianqi’s dazed voice carried a hint of a sob. "Mom! I hit people!"
Li Juan was instantly wide awake. "Were you drinking?" she asked urgently. "How bad is it?"
Wang Tianqi could only tell her the truth.
Once Li Juan understood that the drunk driving and fatal hit-and-run were a reality, she said, "Get home right now! I’ll find someone to take the fall for you!"
With that, Li Juan hung up.
After hanging up, Li Juan, still in her pajamas, made a call. "Xiaoxiao, come to the living room."
Immediately after, she dialed Wang Wei’s number. "What is it, dear?" came his voice. "Calling so late?"
Hearing Wang Wei’s sleepy voice, Li Juan snapped, "What else could it be? Your precious son has gotten into trouble again. Get ready to pay up!"
Li Juan then told him about Wang Tianqi driving drunk, killing people, and fleeing the scene.
On the other end of the line, Wang Wei exploded. "I told you not to spoil him! I told you to stop cleaning up his messes! And now look! People are dead! Are you happy now?!"
Usually, Li Juan would have defended her son, but this was a major incident that could spiral out of control, so she didn’t argue with Wang Wei.
Taking a breath, Wang Wei suppressed his anger and asked a bit more calmly, "So how are you planning to clean up his mess this time?"
"I’m planning to have Xiaoxiao take the blame," Li Juan said casually. "As soon as Tianqi is home, Xiaoxiao will call the police and turn himself in." She spoke as if she’d completely forgotten that two people were dead.
"Fine! This is the last time!" Wang Wei’s voice was weary. "After this is dealt with, take him and go abroad!" He had worried himself sick over this child from the day he was born.
’It seems this account is a total wash,’ he thought. ’Good thing I had the foresight to cultivate a few alts.’
"Old Wang, get someone to delete the security footage from the club’s entrance. And start calling in favors with the relevant departments..."
"I know."
Li Juan paced back and forth in the living room, feeling an anxiety she had never experienced before.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
"Sister Juan, you were looking for me?" a young man’s voice came from the doorway.
Li Juan looked up at the young man in the doorway and forced a smile. "Xiaoxiao, I know your family needs money. I have a job for you... are you interested? Two to five million. The money can be in your account immediately."
Xiaoxiao’s expression showed he was tempted. ’But there’s no such thing as a free lunch,’ he thought. ’A payout this high must come with a steep price!’
’I bet this is about Sister Juan’s worthless son,’ he mused. Having been a driver for the Wang Family for two or three years, he knew exactly what kind of punk the kid was.
’From the first time I met him, I knew it,’ Xiaoxiao thought. ’The way Li Juan spoils him... he was bound to cause a disaster sooner or later.’
"Sister Juan, why don’t you tell me what it is first?" Xiaoxiao didn’t agree right away. He was short on cash, but not so desperate that he’d trade his life for it.
Li Juan had no other choice. At the moment, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could take the fall.
"It’s like this," she began. "Tianqi was drinking and... he hit and killed two people. He was afraid to stop because they’d find out he was drunk, so he’s on his way home now."
"If you agree to take the fall for Tianqi, you’ll call the police to confess as soon as he’s home, and then you’ll await the court’s sentence. We’ll give you two and a half million for a five-year sentence. Five million for ten years. And so on."
Seeing Xiaoxiao still hesitating, Li Juan played the sympathy card. "Xiaoxiao, I know your mother was recently diagnosed with cancer, right when you’re short on funds. This money must be very important to you!"
"If you agree, we won’t just give you the money. We can also arrange for specialists to handle your mother’s future treatments."
Xiaoxiao’s mother had recently been diagnosed with early-stage liver cancer, meaning she had a good chance of recovery if she had surgery.
"Xiaoxiao, just agree. When you get out, I’ll have Old Wang fund whatever business you want to start. How does that sound?"
Swayed by Li Juan’s mixture of emotional appeals and practical offers, Xiaoxiao finally nodded after a fierce internal struggle. "Okay, Sister Juan! But... can I get an advance? My mom needs money for her surgery!"
